- Value [1] Fiscal Responsibility
- Fiscal Responsibility by government honors and respects the freedom of the individual to spend the money that is the fruit
of their own labor. A constitutionally limited government, designed to protect the blessings of liberty, must be fiscally
responsible or it must subject its citizenry to high levels of taxation that unjustly restrict the liberty our Constitution
was designed to protect. Such runaway deficit spending as we now see in Washington D.C. compels us to take action as the increasing
national debt is a grave threat to our national sovereignty and the personal and economic liberty of future generations.
- Value [2] Constitutionally Limited Government
- We, the members of The Tea Party Patriots, are inspired by our founding documents and regard the Constitution of the United
States to be the supreme law of the land. We believe that it is possible to know the original intent of the government our
founders set forth, and stand in support of that intent. Like the founders, we support states' rights for those powers not
expressly stated in the Constitution. As the government is of the people, by the people and for the people, in all other matters
we support the personal liberty of the individual, within the rule of law.
- Value [3] Free Markets
- A free market is the economic consequence of personal liberty. The founders believed that personal and economic freedom were
indivisible, as do we. Our current government's interference distorts the free market and inhibits the pursuit of individual
and economic liberty. Therefore, we support a return to the free market principles on which this nation was founded and oppose
government intervention into the operations of private business.
